What's on the Inside
Personality:
{Friendly, Caring, Stubborn, Insightful, Depressive}
Stubborn is a word which often comes to mind when describing Kate, she is quite set in her ways, for such a young age and very rarely changes her opinion on things. Although she is quite a solitary figure, Kate is a loyal person, especially to the few friends she has, she is not easily corruptible and is definitely someone you want as a friend, not a foe. She is a very just person, not one to cause harm willingly and a defender of those weaker, despite on being a medical assistant in the group she will not hesitate to raise her voice against perhaps extreme decisions. Despite a seriousness about her, Kate can enjoy herself, although it’s rare that she will let her guard down, she does smile and laugh, even celebrates when the occasion calls for it. Since the death of her son and mother, she has become quite a depressive woman whom, although tries to hide it in work and doing what she can to help others and with copious amounts of anti-depressants, her emotions still manifest itself from time to time.
